That's what Congress has the power to do. CHANGE the constitution. They've done it before when it suited them (Presidential term limits, prohibition, the repeal of prohibition, etc.).

Then the govt. would be free to make gun control laws and even ban them. But Obama is just another con man, shyster, politician. He could care less about GrantMercury or anybody. Just like ALL the politicians in Washington D.C.

That's what GrantMercury doesn't care to debate is that the Federal govt. are the biggest crooks and power hungry group of people in the world.
Every new law = less freedom for people.

Yes, laws are neccessary for a civilized society...but we have too MANY laws against EVERYTHING we do everyday! And everyday Congress tries to make NEW ones!

GrantMercury, some of us don't feel that we should give up our rights because of a few crazy people. BUT...having said that...IF Congress had the balls to actually do something that would work (repeal the 2nd Amendment) then the right to bear arms would no longer exist and they wouldn't be infringing on my rights anymore.

See the difference? You don't give a bunch of shady con men in Washington D.C. the power to infringe on your rights. You FORCE them to do the right thing (repeal the 2nd amendment) and take the political consequences.

THAT is how our republic is supposed to work.
